Accessories behind drivers side dash? GU
Evening guys, I'm installing boost/pyro gauges in the A pillar, have used the dimmer switch for gauge light power( blue and black stripe wire and pink for earth) and the lights work fine, I need acc power for the pyro gauge is there an easy place to find it? As in locally behind the dash? There are a million wires back there and I'm to lazy to search! Thanks in advance

Easiest is probably to use a piggyback fuse holder & take the power from an accessory fuse.

Hard to work with wires under the dash. Easier to pull the radio out and find power from there.

Enjoying the trips
Accessory socket is also a good supply that's relatively easy to get to.
Used to be called cigarette / cigar lighter, when did that change? LOL
Interesting find @Cuppa
Cheers

Cigarette lighter is what we use when installing 2 way radios (we actually use it to switch a relay direct from battery).
